My little boy poured some coffee while I was sipping it checking my mail. The biggest mistake on earth. My pc is having real problems and I just can't digit some letters, the shift button etc. Anyway, I really wanted to share these interiors from different corners of the world, styled for Christmas. Hope you enjoy. Have a great time!

I think everyone of us design addicts has come across this pendant hundred and maybe thousand times. And you probabaly know it has been designed by the talented English designer Tom Dixon. Well, I think I am in love with this copper creation of his. This mega orange-like copper sphere is such an iconic piece and the more I look at it the more I would like to put it somewhere in my little appartment. The purchase has to wait for the moment. In the meanwhile here are some images where it would look just great. In the living, in a dining corner of the kitchen and in the kitchen as well, of course in interiors that can afford an important piece as this one. The pendant has got that "art for art's sake" characteristic. The glitter of the copper and its shape are a perfect fusion of industrial and classical touch. You just have to love it for its aesthetics and of course for its versatility and elegance. Happy sunday!

Hello there! I have been through some very busy weeks lately. Kid's up and downs, parents ageing related problems, work and aches of every kind, juggling work and family sometimes in a very stressfull and frantic way and other times with a certain detachment. Anyway, I think I have sorted some things out and December is the Advent Month. Hopefully, great times are coming. I wish I didn't sound too pessimistic, because this is a post about feeling well and in high spirits. To celebrate the upcoming festivities, that I will spend in Rome, here is a selection of some wonderful Rome interiors. Classical themed paintings, gorgeous verandas, minimalist touches for the urban living, dashes of color for an astonishing effect are some of the characteristics of these interiors. Enjoy!!!!!

The more I get involved in blogging on interior design the more I get convinced that Fashion and Design are so profoundly intertwined with each other. Is fashion that influnces Interior design choices or vice-versa? I think that when a color scheme becomes a trend in fashion it automatically becomes a trend in Design as well. That's the case for stripes. You find them everywhere, in the fashion industry and in furniture. Ikea offers a really wide range of striped rugs and cushions and sofas. A post will be dedicated to the topic, I promise. I am particularly keen on stripes and I am loving them in interior design as well. On the other hand while I love bold colored suits and outfits I do not really approve them when applied to an interior. Anyway, here is a selection of some fashionable ladies and trendy outfits and the Interior design counteparts. Have a great evening!

I am not a weather talker, but you can't prevent from being biased by it if you live in an eternally sunny city like Rome. Today was the first day of Autumn here. No burning sunrays, leaves falling from the trees wherever you put your foot, a grey sky crammed with grey clouds. Just to give you an idea of the unexpected arrival of the season, we've had 23° C yesterday. Today it greeted us in a very classic way with its very classic recognizable symptoms. I am not regretting summer anyway. Fall is one of my favorite seasons. It makes me think of relaxing moments curled up in warm plaids, reading interesting books and putting on warm wrapping pullovers. As a tribute to this wonderful season, here are some inspiring pics. Have a great sunday!

Hello there! Browsing the Internet for some interior solutions I found these wonderful French interiors published on the IKEA France website. It is such an effortless style interior. Great choice of colors, shades of grey and Iconic pieces. Love the Besta cabinets in the living and the way they have been repurposed in the bedroom, storage elegant solutions that I would adopt immediately in my apartment. I love every single detail of this interior. Have a great day!

Whatever you see in the pic below is a minimalist and a little bit modest creation (and above all totally inexpensive) of mine. The RIBBA (Ikea) frame under the Bookshelf. Inside there is a simple printed sheet. You may choose whatever phrase you like and change it when your mood changes as well. I love the black and White contrast. I think the phrases and the layout are a reproduction of two works from artist Therese Sennerholt. The other piece is the little frame on the Bookshelf. I found it in a very distressed state and gave it two hands of Yellow atoxic paint. The Bookshelf as well was in my previous home and has now found its perfect place in a corner of the kitchen. Have a very nice day!

Lately I am
looking for a new piece of furniture to add to my living room. It is of course
something necessary not only a piece of decoration. It goes without saying that
in my case aesthetics and style go hand in hand with function and utility. A chair is what I need right now for myself and my relaxing reading moments. I cherish those moments. They have become a little rare since I had my son. I have to wait for the night (sounds like the title of a pop song) and darkness if I want to read just three or four pages of my favorite book of the moment. (A propos, Les dieux ont soif by Anatole France is what I am reading or trying to read right now). I want to create a reading corner in my bedroom and in my living room as well. I have to experiment a bit. In a word, I am looking for something that would look great wherever I decide to put it. A folding chair with an iconic look would be the perfect choice. What about the BFK chair? Maybe not the original one. There are a few great reproductions of it at affordable prices. I am loving it in every shape and textile, but the leather chair is my favorite one. Should I go for it?

Today I come to you with a post on a gorgeous small apartment in Sweden. I found so many resemblances with the style I myself have chosen for my apartment that I had to share it with you. It might just be a spot of my house. I have a very similar sofa in my living room, vintage posters hanging on the wall and White, (I have really assimilated the Scandinavian crush for White) is the predominant color of the whole interior. Take note of the extreme rationality and taste of the apartment. The spaces have been so greatly divided. The design choices like the Barcelona chair and sofa give it a sophisticated touch. Little doesn't mean tasteless! A little space can be as stylish as a luxury apartment!

Well, officially autumn begins the 21th of September. It obviously leads to the concluson that I have only one week left to share my summer Holiday diary. I just have to hurry up. I know that in many parts of the world fall has arrived bringing wind and rain along. Well, you can legitimally feel envious. In Rome we have had just a few days of rain but it doesn't mean we are giving up on summer. Living in Rome is such a great privilege, at least for the weather... Until the first days of November it is almost springlike and the chilly evenings spent outdoors are magical and really enjoyable. Needless to say that I feel nostalgic about the wonderful sunny days I spent by the fabulous and spellbinding Tyrrhnian seaside. Here are some pics I took in Anzio and some wonderful finds I did during my coastal wanderings. Hope you enjoy!

Remember
this post http://creativeordinette.blogspot.it/2012/07/italian-architecture-meets-scandinavian.html? Well, you must know that the renovation of this apartment has been
so very much appreciated and dedicated numerous articles that when the
architect (I would better say the author/artist of this wonderful interior –
Architect Maurizio Giovannoni who lives and works in Rome) informed me of the
renovation of the bedroom, I was so excited that I couldn’t wait to share it
with you. The natural element, when it comes to the wall décor as well as when
it comes to some original illuminating elements, is everywhere and just cannot
be ignored. The whole apartment is
delved into light. It seems that the ecological message and the hues of nature are
two vital elements for those who inhabit it. Blue is the dreamy touch that
makes the whole bedroom so romantic and unique. The wall paper
has been designed and painted by artist Bimba Landmann and the wooden suspended lights in the bedroom have been designed by German artist Herr Mandel. Giovannoni says: “Everything fits together in perfect
harmony!” The Mediterranean touch
perfectly blends with some iconic Nordic design elements giving life to a perfect
fusion of South and North.

The day
began with a very high humidity rate in the air, but at midday a pleasant wind
began to blow taking away the low pressure . It was just the ideal September
day and the perfect weather for a walk in the middle of the stands. This is
what I came across, just blown away by this fabulous an explosion of colors and
flowers. They looked real, I swear! I am
not a fan of artificial flowers, but a bouquet of hydrangeas and wild roses as
these would just bring a touch of happiness in my living room. Have a look and
tell me!

P.S. Stay
tuned! In the next days I will post the first chapter from my summer diary with
shots of the places I visited during my holidays and some décor inspiration for
my aficionados!

Today I
want to share with you my fave outfits for the summer. Practical and soooo chic! I am desperately coveting these two fabulous dresses, one for the office (I am still
working helas) and the other for my sunny week-ends by the spellbinding Tyrrhenian
seaside. By the way, in the next days I will show you some spots of the
wonderful coast town where I am spending my week-ends and where I will hopefully
be spending the forthcoming 10 ten days. I am loving prints lately! Really
chic, especially if you wear them like these super elegant ladies!!! Don’t you
think?
